  1. 1mL or 5mL of blood were spiked with E. coli CTX-M-15 (peK499 plasmid) at different concentrations (50–100, 10–50 and 1–5 CFU/mL) and subjected to ‘1mL standard protocol’ and ‘5mL quick-enrichment protocol’. AMR determinants were detected and samples were compared by assessing their coverage and template identity to the reference. Average Coverage (X) = average depth of coverage of the template. Average template identity (%) = percentage of identical nucleotides between template and consensus. Average template coverage (%) = percentage of bases in the template that is covered by consensus sequence. Data are means ± SD. n = 3 are biological replicates
